The author of Crayon Shin-chan, Usui Yoshito, passed away in September 2009 due to an accidental fall during mountain climbing. The serial manga on “Monthly Manga town” continued until its March issue (released in Feburary), because Usui had already created these issues, however, after that it was stopped.

However, there were many readers who deeply regretted that the serial manga was stopped, so the assistant staff members who used to work with Usui, organized the “Usui Yoshito & UY studio“, and will start the continuation of the serial manga.
